The Cameo Spotlight #3 ~ Color Challenge

Are you ready for the next The Cameo Spotlight challenge? This time, Jackie is challenging us with a COLOR CHALLENGE! The colors are a slate blue, light tan, and natural soft green. For the challenge, remember you can also include neutrals like white, kraft, and black :)

For this card, I used a tree silhouette file from the Silhouette store (design #17677) and merged it with a circle shape to create a window. The rolling hills background was also done on the Silhouette (easy to draw free hand with the curve feature).

I enjoy making my own cut files most and rarely use purchased files as is. That's the case with this tree. In addition to merging it with the circle, I did a bit of tree trimming! By that I mean, I did some point editing of the branches to get rid of the smaller cut areas and to reshape the tree trunk. So easy to get exactly what you want!

I used vellum (with a bit of blended ink) for the sky background and cardstock (with more blended ink) for the hill piece. To give it one last detail, I debossed the cut overlay with a woodgrain impression plate. Texture always seems to make a card look finished!
